ok, i know this thread has been long dead, but i posted this on a different thread where it really didn't belong. I knew there had been an abortion thread in the past, and i finally found it! I just wanted to post some stuff i saw about it. So many people change their opinions on meat consumption after they see videos of the slaughters, i thought perhaps this would do the same thing.

I'm not sure about the laws here, really, and I guess that's because I don't really care. Personally, I'm against it no matter how far along the pregnancy is. Killing an unborn baby, to me, is sicker than killing a full grown man. I mean, I don't condone either of them by any means, but I just don't see how anyone could murder something that never even got the chance to live.

Dilation and Extraction (D&X): from 20 weeks after LMP to full-term Also known as Partial-birth Abortion, this procedure takes three days. During the first two days, the cervix is dilated and medication is given for cramping. On the third day, the woman receives medication to start labor. After labor begins, the abortion doctor uses ultrasound to locate the baby's legs. Grasping a leg with forceps, the doctor delivers the baby up to the baby's head. Next, scissors are inserted into the base of the skull to create an opening. A suction catheter is placed into the opening to remove the skull contents. The skull collapses and the baby is removed.

I don't see how anyone can have an abortion, because you have to be responsible. Have all of the unprotected sex you want, but every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and you should be able to handle it. However, if they want to do it they can. Someone I know had an abortion and she regrets it.

Everyone has their own opinion and since I've never had an abortion I can't say from experience but I think I would regret it to. I would have a lot of guilt because I feel guilty quite easy.

I'm against abortion. I think it does differ if you have been raped and are pregnant but if you are being sexually active you have to know that you could possibly pregnant and killing someone who never had a chance to live, because you made a mistake, is wrong.

Well . . . a woman that goes to my church works in a pharmacy, and they started selling Morning After pills. She refused to sell them because she read about what they did. I think she just gets another woman to sell them to customers who ask for them, but she told me and my parents that it really did abort a baby.

Wow...I didn't really know how they actually did an abortion. I read that the morning after pill isn't really an abortion pill, but some may say it is. It's really anyones opinion.

the morning after pill and the abortion pill are two different things:

Morning After Pill (MAP): within 72 hours of sexual intercourseAlso known as “Emergency Contraception,” this procedure consists of a pregnancy test and two doses of pills. The woman first must take a pregnancy test and receive a negative test result before taking the pills. If a negative test result occurs from the pregnancy test, then the woman is instructed to take the first dose of the MAP. Note: a negative result indicates that the woman is probably not pregnant from intercourse during her previous monthly cycle, but it will not show whether or not she just became pregnant (from intercourse the “night before”). She is instructed to take this first dose as soon as possible, but not more than 72 hours after intercourse. The woman takes a second dose 12 hours after the first dose. If conception already occurred within the 72 hour time frame (that is the “night before”), the life is expelled. This is an early abortion.

RU486, Mifepristone: within 4 to 7 weeks after LMPAlso known as the Abortion Pill, this medical abortion is used for women who are within 28 to 49 days after their last menstrual period. This procedure usually requires three office visits. The RU 486 or mifepristone pills are given to the woman who returns two days later for a second medication called misoprostol. The combination of these medications causes the uterus to expel the fetus.
